Banana Cake

I had some leftover bananas and wasn't in the mood for banana bread so I had to give this cake a try.  AWESOME.


2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream (I used fat-free)
1 egg
1 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 large or 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla 
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
 
Cream together sugar, sour cream, butter, egg.  Add bananas and vanilla, mix well.  Stir in salt, baking soda, and flour.  Pour into a greased 8x8 or 9x13 pan (I made mine a 9x13 pan it was a lot thinner but I was feeding a lot of people, still delicious but if you want a thicker cake use an 8x8 pan or double the recipe for a 9x13).  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
 
I frosted my cake with a Brown-sugar glaze...
 
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3 Tbsp  brown sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 – 2 cups powdered sugar
 
Blend together melted butter, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla.  Stir in powdered sugar until desired consistency.  Spread over warm cake and serve.
